Chapter 263 Heroes from all walks of life are on stage
On October 20th, Liu Xiang returned to Zhuoxian. More than 40,000 people from Xiutu's tribe had just rushed out of Yunzhong County and were marching eastward in Xianbei territory. It was estimated that it would take more than ten days to reach Danhan Mountain.
Yuan Huan, who was on an envoy to Fuyu, quickly sent a message to contact Fuyu. The Lelang envoy from Goguryeo and other countries was named Gongsun Du. Unfortunately, he could not meet. If he met, he would kill him. King Fuyu was very hesitant. He was in the pincer attack between Dong Xianbei and Goguryeo.
Under the circumstances, the two countries were powerful, and he did not dare to raise troops to respond to the general's call.
Yuan Huan decided to stay in Buyeo and continue to persuade.
Liu Xiang felt that persuasion with words alone was not very effective. What was not obtained at the negotiation table had to be obtained on the battlefield.
Autumn in Youzhou is particularly short, and the temperature at the end of October is already very low. He is not prepared to launch a large-scale war in the severe cold winter.
When next spring comes, I will take the Yueqi Battalion and Xiaoqi Battalion to Liaodong. Xiaoqi has been equipped with more than 400 armored riding equipment, and they have assembled two songs, just in time to test their combat power on the battlefield.
You can also mobilize Hu cavalry in the Nanlou and Wuyan tribes to obey orders. After gathering together, there will be more than 20,000 cavalry in Liaodong, enough to launch a Northern Expedition.
The leaders of the central Xianbei tribe began to withdraw to Mobei. If the prediction is correct, they will compete with the tribes of western Xianbei for the position of chanyu. At this time in previous years, they would go south to spend the winter, but so far no Xianbei people have been seen.
This is a good opportunity to attack Dongxianbei.
The Mika Tribe, which inhabits the Horqin Grassland, and the Suli Tribe, which is close to Fuyu and in the Xiliao River Basin, are the main forces in the East Xianbei. The other small tribes further north have little strength. Don't worry about it now. We will take it easy later.
tidy.
The Little Ice Age has arrived, and the extreme north will become colder and colder. The northern grassland tribes will eventually go south. Just wait for them to come and throw themselves into the trap. An expedition covering thousands of miles is too burdensome for Youzhou now.
If it is too heavy, it will be dragged down.
He wrote back to Yuan Huan that he only needed to stabilize Fuyu for a few months, and things would turn around after the spring.
Liu Xiang laughed out loud: "After all, Cui Yi's idea came back to him. He would attack Xianbei first, and then move eastward. When he finds out, he might be very proud of himself. Diplomacy, diplomacy, must be used on the battlefield after all.
Performance speaks for itself.”
Although Liaodong was on the defensive, Liu Xiang was not worried.
Several barbarians who are enemies of each other can form an alliance to resist the attack of the Anping Army. It would be a huge problem for them to coordinate their attack.
How many troops should be sent? Who should go first and who should follow? Should we move forward desperately or conserve our strength? Should we allow the troops of our old rivals to cross the border? Do we dare to cross the border from the previous enemy country? Will we be taken back?
There are many problems. The alliance is best at fighting among itself.
Therefore, the initiative to attack has always been in his hands. Although Goguryeo has increased its troops on the border, they dare not attack alone, and the others are also waiting to see each other.
The biggest problem in Liaodong is population. He looked at the information from Yunfan Camp. The route to the Bohai Strait has been opened. Youzhou's fleet has begun to sail south to Qingxu here, which has also attracted a lot of pirates. The main force of Yunfan Camp is moving
After the killing, a small number of ships began to explore the hydrology of Qingzhou waters and the information on the shore.
It has been more than three years since the Yellow Turban Uprising. There are many Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, but they are scattered and playing different roles and fighting with each other. It is difficult to join forces and there is no atmosphere. Guan Hai has never shown up. I don’t know where he is in the corner.
The cat is here.
It's a powder keg there, and we need someone who can organize the yellow turbans, refugees, and bandits from all walks of life.
Liu Xiang felt that he was a good candidate, but there were too many things going on in Youzhou, and it would be easy to get lost by opening another front, which made him very hesitant.
The Black Mountain Army is causing trouble in Jizhou, and the Liaodong War is imminent. The Xiutu people from the west will come with trouble. At this time, opening the Qingzhou battlefield, no matter how small the scale, will involve energy.
I am afraid that if I make one mistake and lose the other, I will lose everything.
It's better to be cautious.
Let’s take a look and get some information first.
He has many famous generals in the future, but now there are only a few who can stand alone.
Just wait patiently, everyone including him is growing.
During the rare few days of free time, Liu Xiang's biggest task was to create a little person. Every time he worked, he would reap. If he wanted to reap abundant fruits, he had to start by sowing the seeds.
It is very hard for one cow to plow two fields.
He, a very hard-working little scalper, was saved by a letter from Yuan Pang. The court has undergone major changes these days.
Zhang Wen was dismissed from the post of Taiwei and was replaced by Cao Song, the chief minister. It is said that he spent 100 million yuan to buy it.
The day after Cao Song took over as Taiwei, he petitioned His Majesty to establish the Eighth School of Xiyuan. In name, Taiwei was in charge of military affairs in the world. Although his real power was not as powerful as that of a general, the matters reported this time were within his scope of authority.
Within, no one can refute.
The resolution was passed on the same day. All parties must have reached a consensus. I don’t know what kind of political game there is.
Ling Emperor Liu Hong inspected the army in Xiyuan, proclaimed himself the supreme general, and established the eight lieutenants of Xiyuan. His actions were very fast.
Two thousand soldiers from the former Northern Army and one thousand volunteers from Xiyuan were transferred to form the Military Academy Lieutenant Department, and Xiaohuangmen Jian Shuo was appointed as the Military Academy Lieutenant.
He transferred 700 soldiers from the North Army and 1,000 volunteers from Xiyuan to form the Dian Army School Lieutenant Department. He moved the Infantry Colonel Cao Cao to the Dian Army School Lieutenant and appointed Yang Feng as Sima.
Recruiting 700 soldiers from the North Army and 1,000 volunteers from Xiyuan, they established the Military Academy Lieutenant Department, and moved Bao Hong, the Cavalry Colonel to the camp, as the Lieutenant of the Lower Military Academy.
Recruited 2,000 people from good families in six counties to form the Zuo Military Academy and appointed Yuan Shao as the Zuo Military Academy.
He mobilized 1,000 volunteers from Xiyuan, established the Zuo Xiaowei Department of the Zuojun, and appointed Zhao Rong as the Zuo Xiaowei of the Zuojun.
He mobilized 1,000 volunteers from Xiyuan to form the Right Colonel Lieutenant Department of the Assistant Army, and appointed Feng Fang as the Right Colonel Lieutenant of the Assistant Army.
Recruited 1,500 people from good families in six counties to form the Zuo Xiaowei Department, and appointed Xia Mou, the admonishing doctor, as the Zuo Xiaowei.
Recruited 1,500 people from good families in six counties to form the Right School Lieutenant Department, and appointed Chunyu Qiong as the Right School Lieutenant.
The total number of soldiers is 13,400, and the army is controlled by the commander-in-chief.
There are many factions in the Eighth School Lieutenant, which should be the result of compromise between all parties.
Jian Shuo was a member of Emperor Ling.
Cao Cao and Bao Hong were considered to be eunuchs.
Feng Fang, the right captain of the assistant army, was the son-in-law of Cao Jie, the regular servant of the Central Committee, and also a member of the eunuch party.
Yuan Shao and Chunyu Qiong were members of the Yuan family in Runan, but He Jin thought they were his own people.
Xia Mou is from an aristocratic family.
Zhao Rong was born in the Liangzhou frontier army, and he should be a member of He Jin.
The establishment of the Eighth School of Xiyuan completely replaced the Northern Army. Emperor Ling regained part of the military power. Around Luoyang, the troops he could mobilize already overwhelmed He Jin.
Yuan Pang said in the letter: "Your Majesty is interested in Prince Xie, the son of Wang Meiren, and wants to make him succeed Dabao. Yuan Shu, the direct son of the Yuan family in Runan, your Majesty personally issued an edict to appoint him as the Yin of Henan, for fear of splitting the Yuan family."
It seems that there is going to be a battle to seize the direct descendants. Unfortunately, Emperor Ling's life is not long. This battle will eventually benefit Fatty Dong. This matter has many twists and turns, and it is unpredictable in the world.
Yuan Pang also wrote something closely related to Liu Xiang at the end: "The imperial court appointed Dong Zhuo, the general who conquered the west, as the governor of Bingzhou to send troops to suppress the Xiongnu rebellion."
Fatty Dong is coming to Bingzhou?
What will he do? Is he going to conquer all the states and merge them, or is he going to conserve his strength and do it half-heartedly?
Dong Zhuo's troops were transferred from Sanfu to Bingzhou, what about Liangzhou? The bandits in Liangzhou have not yet been quelled. They can stay in Jincheng and other counties honestly because Sanfu has heavy troops to deter them.
It’s a typical example of tearing down the east wall to repair the west wall.
Liu Xiang decided to give Sun Jian a warning and ordered people to send a message quickly, telling him that the Liangzhou bandits would most likely attack Sanfu again and Wuwei County would be difficult to defend, but the line from Dashanguan to Chencang must be defended.
Otherwise, he will be punished for losing his land and may lose his head.
